Chapter 301
The news of Yu Qingze's death spread to Ji County, but did not arouse many people's sighs.

Everyone's focus is on whether Zhao Shizhu, who falsely accused Yu Qingze, finally brought his brother-in-law's concubine into the house as he wished.

In the end, Yu Qingze's death had nothing to do with whether he wanted to plot rebellion, it was nothing more than being on the wrong team in the battle for the heir apparent.

Yang Jian was also aware of Yu Qingze's innocence in his heart, so he did not follow the usual practice and brought disaster on his sons Yu Renxiao and Yu Chengdao.

One of the two served in the Prince Jin's Mansion, and the other served the Prince of the Eastern Palace. Both were dismissed as civilians, and their lives were not harmed.

However, Shi Wansui, who suppressed the rebellion in Nanning Prefecture, was not disturbed by the outside world. He fought for more than a thousand miles, fought successively, defeated more than 30 tribes of the Southwestern Yi people, and captured more than [-] people.

Shi Wansui sent cavalry back to the court to report victory, and said that he would escort Cuan Su to Daxing.

Yang Jian was overjoyed when he received the letter, but he waited left and right, but only waited for Shi Wansui to arrive, and did not see Cuan Ji's figure.

It turned out that Cuan Chong was worried that he would lose his life after entering the court, so he bribed Shi Wansui with a lot of money.

Shi Wansui took the benefits of Cuan Song, so he let him go.

In this regard, Shi Wansui argued that he was worried that if Cuan Song was taken away, there would be no one to rule the people in Nanning Prefecture, and there would be another rebellion.

Yang Jian tentatively believed this statement.

However, in the 18th year of Kaihuang (AD 598), that is, the second year after the rebellion was put down, the father and son Cuan Hong and Cuan Hongda rebelled, and the memorial of Shu Wang Yang Xiu to impeach Shi Wansui was also sent to Daxing.

When Shi Wansui's class teacher passed through Yizhou, Yang Xiu knew that he was accepting bribes, so he sent someone to ask for it. In a rage, Shi Wansui sank all the treasures at the bottom of the river, and the two formed a relationship.

Now seeing the Southwest Yi let the tiger go back to the mountain because of Shi Wansui, how could Yang Xiu let go of such a good opportunity for revenge, and bluntly said that Shi Wansui accepted bribes and indulged the enemy, which is why the barbarians repeated today
Yang Jian was furious when he heard the news, and ordered Qin Wang Yang Jun to lead a thorough investigation into Shi Wansui's bribery case with the participation of Yang Su, Gao Jiong and others.

Because of his extravagant life, Yang Jun wanted to build a royal palace, and at the same time collected debts and lent interest from the people. He was removed from the post of state governor last year and was replaced by Hanwang Yang Liang.

If you really want to say that Yang Jun has committed a heinous crime, it is not always true. These can only be said to be minor evils.

Many ministers in the court interceded for Yang Jun, and even Yang Su believed that Yang Jun would not be reduced to the position of being dismissed from office and only retained the status of a prince because of his negligence alone.

But Yang Jian insisted on taking action against this son, unwilling to violate the law for the sake of family affection.

Yang Jun had lived in Daxing for more than half a year, and now he was ordered to investigate Shi Wansui's bribery case, so he worked hard. Soon it was found out that Shi Wansui had indeed accepted bribes from Cuan Ji, and Yang Xiu's solicitation for bribes was also exposed.

Yang Jian was furious and scolded Shi Wansui:

"I thought you were a good minister, but now that you are a high-ranking official with a generous salary, but you are not satisfied, you have become a national traitor!"

Shi Wansui had no choice but to plead guilty, and Yang Jian ordered Shi Wansui to be executed tomorrow.

Zuo Pu She Gao Jiong and Zuo Wei General Yuan Min hurriedly interceded for Shi Wansui, mentioning Shi Wansui's past achievements, which relieved Yang Jian's anger.

Yang Jian looked at Yang Su and Cui Che, the governor of Youzhou who had returned to the court to report on his duties.

"What do you two lovers think?"

Yang Su had met Cui Che before this, and no matter what the reason was, the two of them were determined to put Shi Wansui to death.

Cui Che answered first:

"I don't care whether Duke Taiping is dead or not. I just think of the financial and material resources spent in pacifying Nanning Prefecture, and the soldiers who died in battle feel anxious.

"What matter, once there is a precedent, if it is tolerated, there will always be latecomers to follow suit. If this becomes a common practice, I am afraid that the border will be restless."

Gao Jiong and Yuan Min were dumbfounded, Shi Wansui glared at Cui Che even more, his eyes did not conceal the meaning of resentment, the flame called hatred rose in his heart.

After hearing Cui Che's words, Yang Jian also re-evaluated if Shi Wansui was left behind, and his behavior of accepting bribes and letting go of the thief leader would have a bad impact.

When Yang Jian was hesitating, Yang Sujin said:
"During the investigation of the case, I saw that the prince sent people several times to inquire about the progress of the case. If the prince is so concerned, His Majesty might as well send someone to give his opinion."

As soon as these words came out, it was lore.

Yang Jian's face darkened on the spot.

Shi Wansui didn't know that Cui Che and Yang Su's single sentence had sealed his own life and death, so he shouted loudly:
"Cui Zicheng! Yang Chudao! How can you two be so vicious! Even if I turn into a ghost, I won't let you go!"

As he said that, he wanted to chase and beat Cui Che and Yang Su in court.

Everyone is a famous player in the world, but when it comes to bravery, Cui Che and Yang Su are no match for this macho man.

The two fled around the pillar, Shi Wansui pursued him relentlessly, Yang Jian was furious, summoned the warriors, and killed Shi Wansui with a stick on the spot.

Cui Che and Yang Su looked at each other with lingering fears in each other's hearts. Just now Shi Wansui chased and beat them like crazy, which really shocked them.

If they hadn't been gagged, they would have to scold them angrily when they were reprimanded by the stick.

Yu Qingze and Shi Wansui died tragically one after another. Gao Jiong's rabbit died and the fox was sad, with a sad look on his face.

But Yang Jian's chest was heaving, obviously because of the remaining anger, he sent Yang Su to the East Palace to reprimand the crown prince Yang Yong.

Shi Wansui, who had already died of anger, was dragged out of the hall by the warriors.

There was no complacent look on Cui Che's face.

It is true that Shi Wansui's death was deserved, but because of his greed for bribes, his previous efforts were wasted, and Nanning Prefecture was thus separated from the actual rule of the Sui Dynasty.

For such a crime, Shi Wansui could not be called unjustly killed anyway.

But when the chaos of the five religions in the south of the Yangtze River was put down, the two of them fought side by side. There was no personal enmity between them, just different positions.

Party disputes are just like this. There is no false accusation or dirty water, and there is already a bottom line.

Afterwards, Yang Jian rewarded Yang Jun, Yang Su, Gao Jiong and others who were in charge of handling the case. However, although Yang Jun received the reward, he still did not get an official position and continued to stay in Daxing as an idler.

Seeing that Yang Jun's face was livid, Cui Che knew that he was not complaining to Yang Jian, he was afraid that he had already eaten the melons and fruits poisoned by Qin Wangfei Cui's family and had been poisoned chronically.

The rest of the people resigned one after another, and Cui Che was left alone by Yang Jian, who praised him lavishly.

Especially after the defeat of Liaodong, Cui Che quickly inspected the northern borders, stabilized all the tribes in the grassland, and no major disturbances occurred, which made Yang Jian praise again and again.

Yang Jian also immediately got to the point:
"From the point of view of the son-in-law, is it feasible to conquer Goguryeo twice?"

Everyone knows that the so-called Goguryeo did not really surrender. Faced with such an ambitious neighbor, Yang Jian was not willing to lay hands on future generations. He hoped to finish his work and destroy him in his own lifetime.

Cui Che pondered for a moment, then said seriously:

"If you want to attack Goguryeo, you need to repair the roads and ensure the logistics supply before you can send troops."
